Driving Guidelines
Before driving through water, stop and make sure that:
• The water is not more than about 10 inches (25 cm) deep.
• The water is not flowing too fast. Deep rushing water can sweep
you downstream. Even very shallow rushing water can wash the
ground from under your tires and cause you to lose traction and
possibly roll over.
• Both banks have gradual slopes and good traction, so you can
enter the stream and exit safely.
• The surface under the water appears to provide good traction.
Remember, the water may hide hazards, such as rocks, holes,
mud, or slippery vegetation.
If you decide you can safely cross the water:
• Proceed at a slow, steady speed.
• Watch for submerged obstacles, including slippery rocks and
holes.
• Avoid getting the spark plugs or air cleaner wet, as this would
cause the engine to stop.
NOTICE
Water entering the air intake system can cause severe engine
damage.
If your Honda SXS becomes immersed in water (water level is above
the floorboard), do not start the engine. Take your Honda SXS to
your dealer for service.
